Robotics: Structure of Industrial Robots or Manipulators: Types of Base Bodies - I

Robots used in industries mostly perform the tasks of picking and placing different things. These functions are similar to that of a human arm, hold something and then place and fit that at the require spot. Such robotic arms are also called as manipulators. They have different types of Base Bodies.

Robotics: Construction of a Robot

What makes a machine different from a Robot? What improvisations convert a dumb machine into a Robot? Though the basic construction of a robot is very much build on the structure of a machine but there are certain things like, actuators, sensors and controllers added to it which makes it a Robot.

Robotics: Introduction

Robots are not just machines, they are many steps ahead a typical machine. Robots like machines can perform different tough jobs easily but the advancement is that they can do it by their own. Once programmed robots can perform required tasks repeatedly in exactly the same way.

Kinematics of Manipulators: Velocity Analysis

Finding the position and orientation of the links of a manipulator required for attaining a certain position and orientation of the end-effector is just not sufficient. We also want to know the corresponding variation of velocity of the links and joints with the motion of the end-effector.

The Kinematics of Manipulators – Forward and Inverse

In the kinematic design and analysis of manipulators, it is required to find the position and orientation of the end-effector for given values of joint parameters. Sometimes the position to be attained is given and possible values of joint parameters to attain that are to be found.
